Here is a good discussion about using Lua to script stuff for embedded or cell phone development: http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2007-11/msg00248.html

Its an interesting read. Lua seems pretty sweet!



maximilian, we are already doing that.


doing..? hacking cell phone software in Lua? I'd love to have at some embedded stuff with a non-c language. So much less to worry about screwing up. Although a lot of embedded stuff is hardware level stuff that has to be done in c anyway, so no lua there.


yes. Maybe we will release the interpreter part open source., but it is not done yet. Basically a J2ME and C++ (for brew and palm), interpreter for lua. The whole idea, is that you can build an app once in Lua, and run it everywhere (for reals). This is a company thing, (we are not a small startup), so I am not sure how much of it will be realeased open source.
